Welcome: Zuckerberg and Chan opened up their home to honored guests to raise funds for the New Jersey Republican

Gov. Christie avoided a confrontation and entered Zuckerberg's home through a back entrance.

Though the 28-year-old tech whiz is
not known to flaunt his political stripes, he has supported the
Republican politician's efforts in education reform.

In 2010, the Facebook CEO announced he would make a $100 million donation to New Jersey to support schools in Newark.

The governor, who is running for his second tern, told the press in January that the fundraising event was Zuckerberg's idea.

'When Mark Zuckerberg and [his wife] Priscilla Chan offer to hold a fundraiser for you, you say, "Yes sir,"' Christie said last month.

'From what I understand, it’s the first fundraiser he’s ever hosted for any politician, so I feel very fortunate,' he added.

Christie has been in California since February 11 to raise money for his reelection campaign.

He attended events given in his honor in Beverly Hills, La Jolla and Santa Barbara on Tuesday.

In advertising for the protest Credo informed interested parties that a neighbor who lives near Zuckerberg's home would be acting as the headquarters for the rally.

Despite their disgust for the outspoken governor, the group cautioned participants to be courteous in their behavior and agree not to 'block private driveways or impede traffic.'

'This is a residential area so we will be respectfully gathering on the sidewalks around the fundraiser.'
